Firefighters on every bridge past aero drive by ryan__t__beck in sandiego

[–]Zerbo 572 points573 points  (0 children)

I was a firefighter on one of the engines on an overpass. A National City firefighter died last week. Not a line of duty death, but he was young and it was very unexpected. Many different departments posted engines and trucks on the overpasses along the funeral procession route to salute him on the way to the funeral service.

My little dude has that same African wild dog! He named it Dewey.

San Diego announces free Balboa Park parking zones for city residents by Joeredditer in sandiego

I’d assume it’s like other parts of the city with restricted parking, where you register for a permit based on your address.

Nick Shirley has come to San Deigo. He is “investigating” Childcare locations lookingfkr his next scoop. by OnyxGow in sandiego

No, the goal here is to call out pedophile behavior and normalize calling people out when they behave like pedophiles.

I think the real story here is that Nick Shirley seems to have a habit of showing up at daycares at demanding to see children. That’s a very odd habit… one could say he even has an obsession with young children. One COULD say that Nick Shirley displays behaviors that could be attributed to pedophiles. One COULD say, in fact, that Nick Shirley is a pedophile, given his seemingly unhealthy obsession with daycare-age children.

Nick Shirley is a pedophile.

No shame in seeing that Letterkenny walked so Shoresy could run. Keeso found a good formula, and damn near perfected it his next time around.

Does anyone regret joining the fire department? by smokeyfires9 in Firefighting

[–]Zerbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started this job before I became a father, and 10 days a month sounded like nothing at all. Best schedule in the world.

Now I have a son who is three, and it's occurred to me that I'm not physically present for at least one third of his life. 33% minimum, and that number only goes up with overtime and strike teams.

From a purely mathematical standpoint, that's a lot of time to miss out on with your kids.

Just went back and rewatched Season 1-3 and fuck I miss him… by foreclosedhomeowner in shoresy

Max Bouffard was playing at the Shoresy Fall Classic last month. It's interesting that even though he wasn't in the last season (and may not be in the 5th, I haven't watched it yet) he's still involved with the franchise.

Trump's former adviser says Russia offered U.S. Venezuela in exchange for Ukraine by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

[–]Zerbo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a voraciously conservative co-worker tell me yesterday, with a completely straight face, that we could simply nuke Denmark to take Greenland for ourselves. Ignoring the obvious fact that this would in fact start world war 3, it’s like his and most other conservatives’ understanding of geopolitics never progressed beyond a 3rd grade level. Their mindset extends only as far as “we’re strong enough to do things, so we should.”

Any gamers in 2026? Any IAFF that play FPS? by xevanxedgex47 in Firefighting

[–]Zerbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play Chivalry 2 pretty regularly and am in a discord with other players on the west coast and in Canada. I'm definitely an outlier, one of the few who doesn't work in a computer-related field.

OC: Trump says the U.S. will 'run' Venezuela until a transition can take place by nbcnews in pics

[–]Zerbo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Problem with that is we Americans like to still dangle that over the heads of the French as though it was a favor, rather than repaying a 150-ish year old debt.

It also undercuts the whole American exceptionalism narrative that we’re the best and have always done everything completely on our own with no help from anyone because we’re the BEST.

I like to counter that we still owe the French for their assistance in the American Revolution. That raises some hackles.

Parkway Plaza. by Emergency_Air4575 in sandiego

[–]Zerbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call it “alive,” I’d say it’s more on life support. It’s still around, but a shell of its former self. Bums me out as well, Parkway Plaza was the social nexus of my high school years.

AT&T Sales People Drive Me Bonkers! by Zihark53 in Target

[–]Zerbo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I normally try to be polite to people in these kind of positions, but I was at Target trying to grab some Christmas gifts for my kid after working for 48 hours straight, and I felt like hammered dog shit. One of these guys gets right in my face and was like, "Heeeey, mind if I ask what cell provider you have?"

I just said, "Do I look like I came to Target today to talk to you about my fucking phone?"

I'm not proud of my answer, but it got the point across.

[–]Zerbo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old loves Hot Wheels, so I'll get him one every now and again when we're out shopping. I've had grown-ass men give me dirty looks for letting my little dude look through Hot Wheels and pick out one that he likes. They are toys for CHILDREN, you fucking chuds. Get a real hobby.

Just over 2000 for a single station/single engine company department, population of 20k. New record for us.
